Thunder Junction is a plane newly awakened with Magic, and villains from across the Multiverse are flocking to this new frontier to chase their fortunes and get up to trouble. Anything is up for grabs, and everyone is grabbing for everything. In Outlaws of Thunder Junction, your players will join Oko and his band of Multiverse villains to pull off a heist that will change the fate of all planes.
This is one big showdown, and we want to make sure you're prepared for it with a kit full of promotional loot to kick off the season and ride it into the sunset.
If your store ran two or more Standard Showdown events in the month of February, your promotional materials kit will also include your oversized card reward, Resplendent Angel.
*Commander Party materials are also available to download in additional languages.
**You will receive one extra weeks' worth of promo packs for Outlaws of Thunder Junction season; these packs will last until the release of Bloomburrow. Additionally, stores that previously received Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese promo packs will not receive local-language packs with Outlaws of Thunder Junction; stores in those regions will instead receive the equivalent number of Murders at Karlov Manor local-language packs instead. Beginning with Bloomburrow, stores outside Japan will receive promo packs in English language.
Provide promos to players while supplies last. For full details on WPN promos, keep the Promo Usage & Policy Hub handy.
Starting right at Prerelease (April 12), players can receive copies of the promos Oltec Matterweaver and Transmutation Font when they bring new players to their first event your store, and each register for your event with their own Wizards Account for any in-store event together throughout Outlaws of Thunder Junction season (as long as it is the new player's first event).
In addition to the two promos, be sure to provide each player (both the experienced player and their new friends) with a copy of Cultivate, all while supplies last.
We've put together marketing materials for you to use to advertise this promotion to your community; share the image periodically throughout the season or at key moments to help boost your event registration.
As the first event of the season, Prerelease is a great time to go all out and create the biggest celebration in-store for the new set. Whether you decorate your store to match the aesthetic of Thunder Junction or serve up thematic treats to keep players' energy up while they explore the cards for the first time, it's sure to be a blast.
For players who register alongside new players in their first event using their individual Wizards Accounts, be sure to award each player in the group both the two Get the Gang Together promos and the Bring-a-Friend promo!
Open House can help get interested new players started with Magic. You can demo the game with Starter Kit or Jumpstart products that you have on-hand or set players up with a mentor to play some Two-Headed Giant games with other newcomer-mentor pairs.
Provide each participant with a copy of the Open House promo; provide a second copy of the promo to players that bring a friend and to the friend they bring. You can use sticker sheets, Get the Gang Together promos, and Bring-a-Friend promos to further incentivize players to come give Magic a try!
Running weekly Standard Showdown events is a great way to build a Standard community and ramp up your players to Store Championship later in the season; then, you can invite players back to continue refining their Standard decks or try new techniques ahead of the next set release.
At Standard Showdown, provide your top player each week with one of the foil, Full-Art Omenpath Basic Lands.
If your store was allocated more than one Standard Showdown promo per week you may provide them during the event for other purposes at your discretion; however, be sure to reserve enough to provide at least one per week for the remainder of the season.
In Thunder Junction, characters flock from across the multiverse to claim their fortunes—and your Commander community can take part at Commander Party! Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander Party surrounds several vaults that players can add counters to as Upstanding Citizens—or take the loot and go On the Run.
While you'll receive your Commander Party materials in English, you're welcome to download the materials in additional languages as needed.
Participating players receive a copy of the participation promo, Costly Plunder, while supplies last.
This one-day-only, Standard-format, in-store tournament event gives your community a space to test their mettle against each other for commemorative promos! Whether they've been practicing week over week in Standard Showdown or want to jump in with their favorite Standard deck to play, encourage your competitive community to register.
At WPN Premium stores, these promos are extra special, as you’ll receive an extra set of the top 8 and winner promos in nonfoil with your store’s name printed right on the card. Qualifying players should receive both the regular and store name-printed versions of the promo at your event.
For all your other Magic event needs, you can rely on Friday Night Magic. It's the day of the week where your community knows your store is the place to go to find Magic, friends, and fun.
Support this event with promo packs, Get the Gang Together promos, and Bring-a-Friend promos while supplies last.
Plus, you can draw fresh attention to the event using our new video resource, available for download today on the marketing materials page.
